How Can I Best Guess the Encoding when the BOM (Byte Order Mark) is Missing?

I would like to know if there are some delphi libraries for the purpose of detecting the character encoding of a text file.

In my comment there was a link to how-can-i-best-guess-the-encoding-when-the-bom-byte-order-mark-is-missing which may work for you if the text files have no BOM.

Look at the Charset Detector library and try it out. It will try to read the BOM and if it's not there make a best effort guess.
